“Changing Lives One Voyage at a Time, Over Time”.

This is the mission statement of the sloop Spirit of Bermuda.

The Bermuda Sloop Foundation provides exceptional leadership and life-skills training, and character development for young Bermudians who might otherwise not have the opportunity. As Bermudians, our future depends upon our youth and they depend on us to help them to reach their full potential.

Two of my children have spent a week each and have both loved and learnt from that experience. I would recommend any parent to ensure that their child gets to experience this adventure.

Recently, together with a number of other concerned persons, I have volunteered to raise money for the Bermuda Sloop Foundation/Spirit of Bermuda by trying to persuade people to either:

1, Pay towards us having to walk the plank off the Bermuda Sloop into the (icy) waters of Hamilton Harbour on Saturday

2, Pay to save us from walking the plank

It is to be hoped that you would consider making such a donation; no amount is too small, nor is any amount too large.

To do so, simply open the attendant link. You will see my photo, together with those of the other “hostages”, with tags underneath to take you to your preferred method of payment. Simply find your hostage of choice, enter the amount, click on “save” or “sink”, then proceed to checkout.

You will receive what appears to be a ticket as confirmation but it is, in fact, your donation. You may contribute to more than one at a time by hitting the “back” button.

Go to https://www.premierticketsglobal.com/EventDetails/2094/Time/14030/ for Pirates of Bermuda link on www.pix.bm/piratesofbermuda.

I do hope that you will consider making a donation to this worthy cause and come to watch some of us plunge into the frigidly cold harbour at about 2pm.

Thanks in advance.
